Product Details
IHC M9806 PRR Class L2s 2-8-2 Mikado Locomotive #9630
"Mikado" is the name generally assigned to the steam locomotives of the 2-8-2 wheel arrangement. The general, and reasonable assumption, is that the name "Mikado" stems from the early construction of locomotives of this wheel arrangement by Baldwin in 1893. These locomotives were of the three foot six inch gauge, and were constructed for Nihon Tetsudo (Japan Railways), a private railway at the time.
The USRA assigned 38 light 2-8-2s to PRR in 1919. All but five were soon transferred to Missouri Pacific and the St. Louis-San Francisco. Those remaining were classed L2s and put to work on Pennsy's Grand Rapids & Indiana subsidiary.
